# Introduction

> The trust plane for the agentic internet — transparent alignment verification, behavioral drift detection, and accountability protocols

# The trust plane for the agentic internet

Mnemom makes AI agent behavior transparent and verifiable. When an agent makes a decision, Mnemom records what it decided, what alternatives it considered, what values it applied, and whether its reasoning was compromised. The result is a verifiable audit trail that any stakeholder can inspect.

Three layers power this:

* **AAP (Agent Alignment Protocol)** -- Post-hoc verification. Alignment Cards declare an agent's values and boundaries. AP-Traces record every decision. Verification checks whether behavior is consistent with declared intent.
* **AIP (Agent Integrity Protocol)** -- Real-time integrity checking. Analyzes LLM thinking blocks during execution to detect prompt injection, value drift, and manipulation before the agent acts.
* **[CLPI (Card Lifecycle & Policy Intelligence)](/concepts/clpi)** -- Governance-as-code that enforces what tools agents may use, distinguishes configuration errors from behavioral failures, recovers trust after false violations, and anchors reputation on-chain.

<Note>
  **What Mnemom guarantees:** Complete audit trails of every agent decision (AAP), real-time attestation of reasoning integrity at the thinking level (AIP), and active policy enforcement that blocks prohibited actions at the gateway (CLPI). Together, these provide verifiable accountability from declared intent through execution.

  **What no external system can guarantee:** Enforcement at the sub-thinking level — inside the model's weights. If a model produces compromised reasoning that does not surface in its thinking blocks, no external observer can detect it. Mnemom verifies everything the model externalizes; it cannot inspect what the model does not reveal. See the [limitations docs](/protocols/aap/limitations) for details.

## Key concepts

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Alignment Cards" icon="id-card" href="/concepts/alignment-cards">
    A machine-readable declaration of an agent's values, autonomy boundaries, escalation triggers, and audit commitments. The "constitution" every trace is verified against.
  </Card>

  <Card title="AP-Traces" icon="route" href="/concepts/ap-traces">
    Structured records of agent decisions -- what action was taken, what alternatives were considered, what values were applied, and whether escalation was required.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Integrity Checkpoints" icon="shield-check" href="/concepts/integrity-checkpoints">
    Real-time AIP analysis of LLM thinking blocks. Each checkpoint produces a verdict: `clear`, `review_needed`, or `boundary_violation`.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Drift Detection" icon="chart-line" href="/concepts/drift-detection">
    Statistical monitoring of agent behavior over time. Detects when an agent's actions gradually diverge from its declared alignment.
  </Card>

  <Card title="CLPI: Governance Layer" icon="gears" href="/concepts/clpi">
    Card Lifecycle & Policy Intelligence. Governance-as-code with policy enforcement, violation reclassification, trust recovery, risk intelligence, and on-chain reputation anchoring.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mnemom Trust Rating" icon="ranking-star" href="/concepts/reputation-scores">
    A credit score for AI agents. Five-component composite metric computed from integrity checkpoints, drift stability, compliance, trace completeness, and fleet coherence. Cryptographically provable and anchorable on-chain.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Team Reputation" icon="users-gear" href="/concepts/team-reputation">
    Teams are first-class meta-agents with persistent identity, their own alignment cards, and accumulated reputation — independent of any individual member.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Verifiable Integrity" icon="certificate" href="/protocols/aip/certificates">
    Four-layer cryptographic attestation: Ed25519 signatures, hash chains, Merkle proofs, and optional SP1 zero-knowledge proofs. Any party can independently verify a verdict without trusting Mnemom.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agent Containment" icon="circle-stop" href="/gateway/enforcement#agent-containment">
    Kill-switch for rogue agents. Pause, kill, and resume agents in real-time with auto-containment triggers, RBAC controls, and full audit trails.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Value Coherence" icon="handshake" href="/concepts/value-coherence">
    Pairwise compatibility checking between agents. Before two agents collaborate, coherence checks verify their values are not in conflict.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## SDK packages

Install the protocol SDKs directly if you need fine-grained control:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash npm theme={null}
  npm install @mnemom/agent-alignment-protocol
  npm install @mnemom/agent-integrity-protocol
  ```

  ```bash pip theme={null}
  pip install agent-alignment-protocol
  pip install agent-integrity-proto
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Package                            | Language   | Registry | Description                                  |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `@mnemom/agent-alignment-protocol` | TypeScript | npm      | AAP verification, coherence, drift detection |
| `@mnemom/agent-integrity-protocol` | TypeScript | npm      | AIP integrity checking, signal building      |
| `agent-alignment-protocol`         | Python     | PyPI     | AAP verification, coherence, drift detection |
| `agent-integrity-proto`            | Python     | PyPI     | AIP integrity checking, signal building      |

<Note>
  **Canonical Python package names:** PyPI: `agent-integrity-proto` (AIP) and `agent-alignment-protocol` (AAP); npm: `@mnemom/agent-integrity-protocol` (AIP) and `@mnemom/agent-alignment-protocol` (AAP). These are the only published package names — do not install packages under any other name.
